Just got these for Christmas and hope to install in the next week...First, I have to swap the OP guage as I already have it for a different one. Suggestions ? I have the FP guage...thats going in. My apprehension is with those "push-in" barbed plastic screws/rivets...will use them anyway. Leery on holding power here in the HOT Southeast. Any and all guidance, tips and tricks for this install greatly accepted and appreciated...

I have had my 2 gauge pod for over a year and no problems. The push barbs hold fine in Atlanta.

I glued mine with some plastic epoxy and it looks much better than the plastic push pins!!;)

I'm going to glue mine in and then get both "A" pillars covered in leather like the seats. I may do the "B" & "C" pillars also.

You can also use double sided tape, and have the pod painted to match the interior

To answer KillJoys question...I BELIEVE MartyO did this with his 3 guage install. As I remember he cloned a 1 guage to a 2 guage and then had it covered in the same material asthe seats...I am open for correction on this as always...

I may bring down the stock A - pillar cover and figure out some solid way to attach the pod to it...will resurrecte this thread when I flesh it out. THANK YOU everyone who stoppedin, read the thread and contributed.
